After we'd been talking for a while the man told us how his water tank had been melted:
the fire had come down the ridge, he saw a Lyrebird running through his farm, but then he had to go inside because he couldnt breathe the air was thick with smoke, he had to push through.
'...the tank was only a quarter full with water, so it melted from the top down to where the water was.'
This all comes back, maybe we should never have evolved. the air was rich with the stench of animals caught by the flames for a month after. The man had not seen butterflies or birds for a long time, but after some rain they appeared on the wind one morning, coming to reclaim their country bend down the new flowers as they clung to them.

Noon in Brunswick

Just glanced up and it was noon. I made a mad dash for the camera. I only had a minute.

The Noon Series

_________________
On the run in Tasmania-

Just beyond the road the hills fall bare, the land is stark and blackened; only a few butchered man-ferns grow here. The diversity that flourishes in the buffer between this coup and the road, hiding the evidence of their greed from passing eyes, will never be regained...napalm is not just a thing of war. The paradise of old is now only that of imagination, with even the landscape of the mind beginning to crack and disappear, dissolving with the gradual crystallization in the world's mind of our current and accelerating reality.

Rocks (collected at 12.35pm on 28th of November 2009 from the river where the water is clear and cold, and where the hawks fly above) assembled atop a found image of a ceramic piece.

The air is brisk.

My fingers are freezing.

My breath is white.

the noon series.

summer project--

in the nature of summer time, members of the dud, have been scattered near and far- few are in the same city at the same time.
so in an attempt to bring us all closer together, dud members have began their first project for the year- hand made, home made postcards, capturing what we are doing at 12 pm on any given day of the week.

stay tuned for visual updates from as far as, berlin, japan and the inner north suburbs of melbourne.
